Just so you guys know, as this will help while you’re practicing and simulating the interview at home/school, the MMI at UMKC for this year is:[ul]
[]11 carefully structured interview stations, with a short break approximately half way through the interview process.
[]The focus of the MMI is on the non-cognitive factors identified as important to consider in admissions
[]Each interview station is designed to assess a specific characteristic, trait or competency
[]All interviews are conducted blind, as interviewers will not have access to any information provided by the applicant in the application process (so in layman’s terms – they will have no access to your grades, your GPA, your class rank, your ACT/SAT score, anything you may have typed into the online applications).[/ul]
The structure of the MMI:[ul]
[]You will have two minutes to review a scenario or question, followed by six minutes of questions and discussion regarding the particular scenario or question. The six minute interview will be conducted one-on-one with a School of Medicine or UMKC faculty or staff member, a current student, a healthcare professional or a member of the greater Kansas City community.
[]School of Medicine staff will keep time for the interviews and signify both the beginning and the end of the interview.[/ul]
